Israel is Awesome

In case you've heard otherwise

brad adds:

Israel has the right to exist, as do the Palestinian people. Neither side has any moral high ground left, and all rational people should care about is how to stop the dying and heal the two cultures. If anyone wants to take a side and debate, there's several million other places you can do that. FMM is about making fun of Megan McArdle's shitty output, not taking sides in an intractable war of attrition. Israel won't be a topic here again, barring extreme circumstances, in which case I'll deal with it and leave taking sides out.

brad adds a little more:

That's not a dig at any of my co-bloggers, just a statement of a new policy.
